SharpCap Forums

I have a Win 7 Pro 64-bit operating system. I have SharpCap v3 installed. The camera I have is the ZWO ASI1600MM-Cool. When I click on the 'Binning' button SharpCap just lists four numbers: 1, 2, 3, and 4. I do not know if 2, for example, is a 1x2, a 2x1, or a 2x2 bin. Someone else who owns a different ZWO camera gets a complete list of bins that are more descriptive. For example, the list of available bins includes a 1x6 bin. My guess is that my camera does not yet have the full capabilities of SharpCap because it is a relatively new camera. Is this correct?

Hi Stan,

if there is only one number shown then it is 1x1, 2x2, 3x3 etc.

The ZWO SDK only supports binning the same amount in each direction, although it may be that the ZWO ASCOM driver does give the option to bin 1x2 etc. In general there's not much mileage in using different binning in the two directions, although it is handy with some CCD cameras that have non-square pixels.

cheers,

Robin
